Frank Lampard Says Chelsea Should Not Have Fired Jose Mourinho

Former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has rallied behind Jose Mourinho and claims the Blues "should have waited until the end of the season" before making such a radical change in their management.

The New York City FC playmaker won two Premier League titles under Mourinho at Stamford Bridge, and although he supported interim boss Guus Hiddink, he declared Mourinho deserved more time, per a Monday report by the Sun:

Guus Hiddink will be a fantastic manager in the interim but they should have waited until the end of the season.
